Novena to Saint Peregrine

(To obtain cancer cures)

Glorious wonder-worker,
St. Peregrine,
you answered the divine call with a ready spirit,
and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease
and all the empty honors of the world
to dedicate yourself to God
in the Order of His holy Mother.
You labored manfully for the salvation of souls.
In union with Jesus crucified,
you endured painful sufferings with such patience
as to deserve to be healed miraculously
of an incurable cancer in your leg
by a touch of His divine hand.
Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God
and to fulfill His will in all the events of life.
Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal
for the salvation of all men.
Deliver me from the infirmities
that afflict my body...
(State your need here...)
Obtain for me also a perfect resignation
to the sufferings it may please God to send me,
so that, imitating our crucified Savior
and His sorrowful Mother,
I may merit eternal glory in heaven.
St. Peregrine,
pray for me
and for all who invoke your aid.
